There are only two things that come to
mind when you think of being a lawyer, either the courtroom or the big case.
The other is not as glamorous as the legal profession. If it was, everyone who
has been to law school would have a list. But most people do not. We would like
to change those perceptions. That's why we've created this guide where you will
find out about some of the top-ranked lawyers in America and their
accomplishments and achievements.

News Network CNN
The best lawyers in America come from
every walk of life, but they all share one characteristic - being outstanding
attorneys. Many Americans are so proud of these attorneys because of what great
work they have accomplished at such an early age while still growing up in
neighborhoods with gangs that were often riddled with violence.
While others may feel ashamed by them and
wonder what it would be like to be involved in cases in which there was no
evidence or testimony against them, these lawyers do not let the negative
perception prevent them from doing what they love most. So today we look at the
ten best lawyers in America 2022.
1. Samuel R.
Bixby Jr (Randy)
Samuel R. Bixby Sr. (born October 1,
1956) is an attorney from South Carolina born. He graduated Summa Cum Laude
from Howard University College of Law in 2002 and began his career after
completing internship with Dabney Hensley & Co with his father. Throughout
his years he was employed as associate with several firms specializing in civil
litigation. Later, he joined Jackson County Sherriff’s Office as a prosecutor
in 2005. For 17 years he practiced as an assistant district attorney and then
decided to become a firm leader in 2014. Currently Mr. Bixby is also a member
of American Bar Association. His mother passed away on November 14, 2015 while
Mr.
Bixby died on April 12, 2018 at the age of 46.
His wife Elizabeth ‘Liz’ Bixby (born August 5, 1960) took over since his
passing. Over the course of her entire life, Ms. Bixby has helped raise 6
children. She previously received many prestigious awards for helping raise her
children. On February 16th 2021, she died at the age of 69, due to natural
causes.
What Makes Sam Samuel Bixby exceptional?
What makes him special? Well for starters his character. It is said that being
good is not necessarily knowing how to put a man in jail. While there is still
room for improvement, his record speaks well for himself. And not just because
he has earned more than $1 million dollars for criminal defense. For that
reason, he has a reputation for excellence. However, he knows how to get it.
One thing that sets him apart from other lawyers is his ability to achieve
results regardless of whether money is available. As he stated in an interview,
“I take it day by day. I don’t spend my time making decisions and thinking
about what happens next week. Instead, all I do is focus on trying to make sure
that I succeed and do everything that I can to make sure that I get the result
that I want and need”.
2. Edward P.
Boustany (Boustanier)
Edward P. Boustany (born September 27,
1957) also known as Bradbury Boustanier was raised in Cincinnati Ohio. After
graduation in 1974 he went to Harvard Law School and obtained a Bachelor of
Laws degree in 1978. He later completed a Juris Doctorate Degree in 1979 from
Case Western Reserve University School of Law at Cleveland, OH. Immediately
upon graduating he worked as Assistant Counsel for United States House of
Representatives, Subcommittee on Energy,
Committee hearing, Legislative Affairs and Armed Services and staff counsel to
U.S Department of Transportation Secretary William J. Perry. This allowed him
to serve as Special Counsel to three different committees and later as Deputy
White House counsel to President Reagan’s national security adviser in 1983.
Following his term in office he became U.S Ambassador to Denmark from 1987-1989
and was awarded Commander of Courage Award – Congressional Gold Medal. He holds
dual graduate degrees from Princeton and Yale Universities and serves as
president of Youngstown Public Library Board. The award given to Mr. Boustanier
in 2012 for lifetime service to public service is regarded among the highest
honors.
What makes Edward Boustanier exceptional?
The answer lies in his drive to strive and not settle for anything less than
excellence. You can see this in action when he refused to accept payment from
the company he was investigating, despite having extensive materials to prove
his innocence. Although Mr. Boustanier has made numerous allegations against
the country and its leaders, he continues to fight his convictions. From the
very beginning, the goal of his career has always been justice and fairness.
Unlike many lawyers who choose to give up his clients, rather than winning
their cases.
3. Robert L. F.
(Chuck)
Robert L. (Chuck) Farrar (born and raised
in New Orleans, Louisiana) graduated third in high school, in 1973. During his
college years he was able to obtain an undergraduate degree from Southern
Methodist University in Baton Rouge, LA. A year later he met George L. Bixby
and the family later moved to Miami. Chuck received his JD Degree from
Vanderbilt University in 1980. Within six months after attending law school he
left his firm to join Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison and subsequently
started his own practice managing general civil litigation on various sides of
Pennsylvania and Virginia. In 1991 he founded his own law firm which had its
headquarters in Washington D.C. Since 1993, he has successfully represented
hundreds of individuals and families and filed thousands of motions.
What makes Bob Chuck Farrar exceptional?
One of the most admirable qualities that Chuck possesses is his commitment to
fighting for the victims.
The biggest example is the death penalty. He
fought hard to prevent the death penalty in 1996. Not until 2001 did
Mississippi vote to allow capital punishment. Chuck believes that if it hadn't
been for him and several others from ACLU of Tennessee, the State government
would have never done this. His dedication to protecting the right of every
person has carried through into the courtroom, and he has been named to several
professional associations, including the National Trial Lawyers' Hall of Fame.
Another thing that is important to mention is the fact that Chuck’s background
did not help him, because he was not always born in the United States. This
gives him the advantage over some other lawyers who cannot claim to be citizens
of the US as he does because he went to schools outside the USA.
